12. Why do you think the author wrote this story?
Anderson wrote this story so we could get a look at his perspective of the future. I believe that everyone has a vision of what the future holds. Depending on where/when you're brought up, different people's views vary and differ, but at the end of the day everyone's view can pretty much come down to one thing that we all agree on; more advanced technology.
As tears went on, our science and technology advanced a great deal. For example, the car. Nothing too complicated, right? just a box on wheels that takes you places when you give it some gas. Now as the years went on, cars got better in safety and performance and it isn't just a coincidence. Our advanced technology has given us the opportunity to make the car more aerodynamic, therefore making it faster. It also gave us the chance to make cars more safe through design and stronger metals/accessories such as the air bag. And then there's the way we make cars even more convenient by putting radios and blutooth and cameras, and now there's an option to let the car parallel park itself. We are living the future and it's only getting more and more advanced.
Anderson's view of the future consisted of a computer chip inside our heads. I thought that it was pretty original and creative, but the reason why it was most intriguing to me is because it's very realistic.
